Oooh...can we keep them numbered? So we can reach a thousand and say...wo, we must hate/love a lot of stuff How about, Odd hates, Even likes....but we don't have to do that if you fellow ferrets don't like the idea!

1) I hate author's notes in the middle of a story:

It was a dark night, a stormy night [that sounds soooo cool, right?]. The owls sung their mournful tunes [do you know what I mean?], and the skies shone an inky black [isn't that a nice phrase....]

::crumples up fan fic::

2) I love a well written story, meaning: a well thought out plot, plausible situations, and characters, and the lot....

3) I hate when a good fic is stopped midway, and deserted ::wipes away tear::

Okay, I hate song fics that have absolutely nothing to do with the song.

I hate bad grammar, spelling and punctuation. We spend sooooo much time on that in class that I can't stand it when people do it wrong.

I hat 'kewl talk', like this: Harry waz lyk sooooo happy that Ginny <3ed him dat he jumped in da lake n 8 a pasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!1!lolololol!!!1!!!1!!!!!111111!

I hate it when people post their whole story in one paragraph.

*Back, back, back, BACK*

I love (obviously) well written stories.

Here is a link to a story that is a 'play' on bad fanfction. It may have alot of you pressing the 'back' button, but if you can bear it, it's quite funny. Harry Potter and the [Insert Random Plot Device Here] by Demeter Tess Reading. I'm not actually sure if you'll be able to read it if you're not a member of TheSnitch though. *shrugs* Hopefully...

edit: Okay, so the link didn't work but I have now posted the first chapter in the 'Stuff you can't figure out where else to put' topic. Here is the *NEW* link: Harry Potter and the [Insert Random Plot Device Here]. All credit goes to Demeter Tess Reading from The Snitch.
